I don't think you will get far. Obama is an alien. His spacecrafts are all around the world waiting his victory to descend upon earth.

My spaceship is a Quantum Spaceship. It is powered by a second-quantum hyperdrive. Obama's, on the other hand, is powered by delusion and deception. His drive can get him quite far, but not nearly as far - or as fast - as mine.

On the downside: my drive is so large that the lifesystem only allows for single-occupancy. Tightly packed into a General Products #3 hull. Impervious to anything but visible light. Pretty damned bulletproof.

Pluralism combined with democracy causes dysfunction. From one of his famous works, Carl Schmitt gave us something to that effect. I believe democracy, through promiscuous altruism (abolitionists e.g.) in fact does tend toward universal enfranchisement and this in turn causes the very pluralism that ends democracy. By necessity, something authoritarian or totalitarian is urged into power by the stronger political competitor in the hopes of returning the society to some semblance of livable order.

Is there historical precedent for all Democracies turning towards totalitarianism?
